Same here... Car is safe in garage, lots of wet leaves on the DD though.

As far as the damage goes, the beach areas got it pretty bad with the flooding and some low areas near rivers. However, in the Philly area we just got some rain and gusts of wind. Luckily I did not lose power, however I know some around me did.

I saw photos of where I used to street park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn...it was like 1' underwater in front of my old apartment. So glad my FD isn't parked there anymore...

Had a close call but both are safe. They don't both fit in the garage so the red one was outside. I live on a hill so flooding wasn't an issue. But the trees were. Luckily no trees fell in my yard. But 20 feet away they did.

FD is at the paint shop off RT130 in Burlington, NJ. It was inside but not sure if there was any flooding in that area. Calling them soon.

cheap rollers incoming!

you wouldn't think it but we get tons of floods here in the desert. damn clouds hold it until they're right over the valley.. fortunately the shop and house are on high ground but getting to and from work can get treacherous, 4' rivers blocking roads suck.

The winds got much worse in Toronto than I expected. I have a portable car tent I park under until I store the car for the winter, the winds ripped this up and flipped it over the car but somehow never actually hit the car.

As I came home from work the tent was about to crash onto my car but I jumped out of my civic in time to catch it.

Came out completely unscathed, but at the same time I wouldn't be too upset with some dings or scratches as she's going to the body shop in a week for a full repaint.

mine was underwater last night last I checked. Today I was sposd to go get it inspected and tagged. From what I been told my car is in about 8" at the worst of it, so I might be ok. I wont be able to see it till after work today. No worries I played the guilt card on everyone who refused to let me park it at their house. the only hosue available was flooded pretty good.

should be fine with that, not even up to the axles at that point to get into the wheel bearings or brake system components.

The Fd is safe in my garage. The wind was the worse of it here. Random trees and powerlines down all over the roads. Just got power back last night from Monday. Camping indoors in your own house for 6 days sucks, but alot of people lost more than power. I live 8 miles from NJ and 69 miles from NYC on I-80 and the lines to get gas are like the 70's gas crisis, some are an hour long. NJ and NY license plates are coming from almost 2 hours away to fill cars and any container they can with gas because the lines there are 2-3-4 hours.
